TV Segment: Pinot Grigio dell Venezie DOC

The Consorzio DOC delle Venezie guarantees and certifies the quality and origin of each bottle of Pinot Grigio produced. The consorzio was formed in 2016 and all regulations began with the 2017 harvest. Although you can find large plantings of Pinot Grigio in France, Germany, New Zealand and the United States, its true homeland is in northeastern Italy; Pinot Grigio delle Venezie DOC.

I am delighted to share my latest television segment on KSEE 24 with you.

2019 Largo dei 5 Pinot Grigio delle Venezie DOC SRP: $26

2020 Villa Sandi Pinot Grigio Delle Venezie SRP: $16

~Sláinte!

Disclosure: I received compensation from the Consorzio DOC delle Venezie for this segment.

It is hard to think of a comfort food that is better than mac and cheese. Steamy pasta with just the right amount of crunchy bread crumbs and maybe a bit too much cheese puts a smile on everyone’s face. This recipe is so easy, you will never find yourself ripping the top off that…

But at Villa Matilde, there is no stomping. Instead there is dancing! I had the honor of sitting down at…
